<p>they dress for other women.</p>
<p>A sociology major would come in handy right now.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But what’s it matter? It’s a bit like saying do you want to look like an idiot for not knowing the square root of 2?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This makes sense only if a female is trying to attract a mate by outshining her competition. (I’m operating under the assumption that all the rules of society are decided by male-female bonding rules)</p>
<p>
No, but I think most people would agree you should learn how to put together a decent outfit by the time you’re an adult and have a job where you need to look professional and not like a 5-year-old who is just learning how to pick out their own clothes. Funny, I do know the square root of 2 off the top of my head, as well as some other square roots that are not whole number answers. I’ve been asked some of those before.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Okay, first, not everything is about attracting a mate. Let’s take the Freudian theories out of this.</p>
<p>It’s about feeling good about yourself and having confidence, which comes through the medium of dressing well. I just care enough about myself to dress myself in an aesthetic way.</p>
<p>Second, It sounds to me you’re a bit like a two-year-old wearing two different shoes.</p>
<p>And third, your rant about women’s wardrobes is entirely off topic.</p>
<p>BUT…having 9 sweaters and 30 shirts still seems a bit over the top. Trying to come up with a non-clothing metaphor here to explain. … . Okay it’d be like me saying I have 300 ECE textbooks because one of them might have a fact the other 299 doesn’t. Chances are that you only need 100 books to have 99.99% of the knowledge in the world of ECE.</p>
<p>Ergo why would you need 100 shirts to have 100% of the matching when 20 or whatever might cover 99.99%.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But there is a such thing as “within reason”. Hard to argue 100 pairs of shoes (or 40 shirts or 20 pants etc) are necessary when loads of women do fine with much much less.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not really. The whole point of the OP was whether her wardrobe list was excessive.</p>
<p>As a female I completely agree. We do dress for other females. I highly doubt guys care as much</p>
<p>sumtimes when im feeling lazy i just where sweatpanst and a wifebeater plus my sandals its kinda ghettoe but its just when im lazy so it makes sense but when its party time i usually put like an ed hardy shirt or something to le the ladies know that im tough yet stylish so hopeflly i can fit those clothes in the closet at collage</p>
<p>Have to say…I agree with women that guys have life way easier. We’ll just punch another dude whereas a woman will come up with some elaborate backstabbing plot. We can pee standing up. Our haircuts take 5 minutes. We don’t have periods or get pregnant. And now I’m proud to add…</p>
<p>We don’t have to worry about matching.</p>
<p>@RioBravo…how much have you had to drink tonight?</p>
<p>Yeah, girls dress for other girls. It’s not really to impress guys over other girls, it’s more of a status thing, I think.</p>
<p>But I’m a bisexual girl so my opinion is invalid</p>
<p>way to generalize the whole female population lol. coming up with a backstabbing plot takes too much time, I’d prefer to just physically hurt the person. or does that make me manly?</p>
<p>Ok perhaps you all don’t come up with a backstabbing plot…but females never forget being slighted. Men have minds too tiny to come up with elaborate plots or to remember everyone who wronged us. :)</p>
<p>People who are asking “Is it necessary to have this much blah blah blah…”</p>
<p>Of course it’s not NECESSARY. Some people just like fashion and like having a variety of clothes. It’s a hobby. Do they NEED it? Of course not. They just want it.</p>
<p>I personally wouldn’t want to wear the same outfit every week not because I think other people will care, but because I’d get bored of it. For me, and plenty of other girls, clothes are fun. If you don’t feel that way, fine. Maybe you think video games are fun, and you’re bringing a tv and an xbox and a wii and a video game collection to your dorm. I don’t enjoy it, and it’s also not necessary, but hey, I’m not going to judge you for bringing all that stuff.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s judging necessarily but a warning. you can bring whatever you want to college as long as you can handle all that stuff. it’s not a matter of what you don’t need but what you shouldn’t do. and most of us here have enough experience to know that you shouldn’t bring an excessive amount of clothes. there is simply no space</p>
<p>I agree with nox. Trust me, we don’t care how many clothes you have. But there is no where to put these clothes. I don’t think the OP realizes how small dorms are and how much other crap there is in there. We all have experience with that. Plus, she asked our advice but just doesn’t seem to actually want it. That’s just annoying.</p>
<p>There’s something to be said for simplicity and frugality.
You don’t have a job so this is sort of a moot point. However, the majority style of one’s wardrobe is not the entirety of one’s wardrobe; that is, what one wears to class does not dictate what one wears to something like a job interview. I don’t mean to be offensive, but that was a downright childish statement. At least UAKid is funny.</p>
<p>I took a quick glance at the list and laughed. Then I saw the numbers of clothing items and laughed some more. And then I Googled “Bermudas” and “Capris.” I’m a guy.</p>
<p>Girls have to act like a guy in regards to bringing clothing to college. We don’t bring a lot. We’re minimalists. Simple. Frugal. It’s bliss :D</p>
<p>Bring enough clothes to last you and look presentable.</p>
<p>People who bring little clothes or constantly wear the same clothes over and over are bum bitches. Plain and simple. Take pride in how you look and what you wear. In all honesty, people don’t like associating with people who look any kinda way.</p>
<p>lol you’re so cool!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Call me what you like, but having to fall so far as to call names to prove your point is just silly. Especially if it’s about clothes. </p>
<p>I’m a girl, but I agree with the guys on this thread. Keep it simple, and buy stuff that matches with everything else. I’ve got blue jeans and neutral-colored sweaters (ie my high school’s sweaters) that go with whatever. So that way I can dress in the dark and no one would know. I do take pride in my appearance, but I don’t need a truckload of clothes to do it.</p>
